But with old people it is possible that they can not help being "dumb". 
Dumber that they were.

Heck, yesterday I was walking around a beautiful spot with a river 
(rivers are very uncommon where I live, nearly desert land, so I love 
them). I took a photo from a spot some 20 meters higher, sent it to some 
friends, then pocketed the phone. After maybe 200 meters walk, I notice 
my phone is missing. I retrace my steps back to the tiny hill, ask some 
kids there, and sure enough, they had found my phone. They were seeking 
for how to find me. Nice kids. Thank you so much, etc.

Apparently I did not pocket the phone, but dropped it, and it did no 
noise. I'm getting old, no longer smart.

Cheers, Carlos.
